A unit-address should have a corresponding reg property. Also, the node 
name should reflect the class of device.

You don't really need the unit address here, but for multiple slaves you 
would. I'm not sure what you'd use here since the only id/address is 
the serial number which is unknown except for the family code. If you 
have 2 identical devices with some different DT properties, how would 
you match? I don't see a way other than putting the serial number (or 
some portion of it) in DT.

I'm not sure how common multiple slaves are. Perhaps just support a 
single slave for now.
